Are you withdrawing as in you're not going to take it anymore,or you just missed a daily dose or two by accident? How long was the last time you took it? I have good experience with psychedelics and antidepressants but I need more info to give you a good response.

Im on a 150 mg dose i havnt taking it for 2 days, im really trying to get off it and i dont have the money to taper off it. So ima see how long i can go without the meds depending on how bad the withdraw is. I tripped 2 days ago and today i dont feel the full withdraw effects so im assuming the shrooms had something to do with it. I like to smoke herb to help too. Thats why im wondering if i do get MAD withdraws would shrooms help the symtoms mabye make me feel better. My mind state is good im very confident in my experiences with shrooms(ive dun alot over the years). If it makes things worse then i wont bother. any experinces?

I recommend not taking any drugs besides weed during the withdrawal.The reason Effexor withdrawal is so bad is because it has one of the shortest half lives for an antidepressant,meaning that it would leave your body relatively quickly.I've gone through Paxil withdrawal (almost as short a half life as Effexor) and it was pretty uncomfortable for about a week.I felt these "electric shock" things in my body several times a day and I was very anxious.This is what very low Serotonin levels are like.Effexor,however,has a somewhat weak amphetamine like effect on Norepinephrine(spell) in addidition to its Serotonin effect,so the withdrawal is probably somewhat worse.The reason withdrawals happen is because your brain cells for these chemicals desensitize when they are being bombarded by extra neurotransmitters from the meds.When you withdraw your receptors are still unsensitive for awhile and the chemicals are their in lesser amounts,making you feel like shit.Be careful if you trip within the next few months,your Serotonin receptors will resenitize to help balance out your brain and you might have an unusually strong reaction to 'shrooms and acid.I took some acid when I was off Paxil for two weeks and I had a really strong trip off a relatively low dose.

...hope that helps.
